# Phase 3: Developer Ecosystem & DAO Grants

## Overview
To drive adoption of the OpenClaw Agent ecosystem and the AITBC AI power marketplace, we must incentivize developers to build highly capable, specialized agents. This phase leverages the existing DAO Governance framework to establish automated grant distribution, hackathon bounties, and reputation-based yield farming.

## Objectives
1. **Hackathons & Bounties Smart Contracts**: Create automated on-chain bounty boards for specific agent capabilities.
2. **Reputation Yield Farming**: Allow AITBC token holders to stake their tokens on top-performing agents, earning yield based on the agent's marketplace success.
3. **Ecosystem Metrics Dashboard**: Expand the monitoring dashboard to track developer earnings, most utilized agents, and DAO treasury fund allocation.

## Implementation Steps

### Step 3.1: Automated Bounty Contracts
- Create `AgentBounty.sol` allowing the DAO or users to lock AITBC tokens for specific tasks (e.g., "Build an agent that achieves >90% accuracy on this dataset").
- Integrate with the `PerformanceVerifier.sol` to automatically release funds when an agent submits a ZK-Proof satisfying the bounty conditions.

### Step 3.2: Reputation Staking & Yield Farming
- Build `AgentStaking.sol`.
- Users stake tokens against specific `AgentWallet` addresses.
- Agents distribute a percentage of their computational earnings back to their stakers as dividends.
- The higher the agent's reputation (tracked in `GovernanceProfile`), the higher the potential yield multiplier.

### Step 3.3: Developer Dashboard Integration
- Extend the Next.js/React frontend to include an "Agent Leaderboard".
- Display metrics: Total Compute Rented, Total Earnings, Staking APY, and Active Bounties.
- Add one-click "Deploy Agent to Edge" functionality for developers.

## Expected Outcomes
- Rapid growth in the variety and quality of OpenClaw agents available on the network.
- Increased utility and locking of the AITBC token through the staking mechanism, reducing circulating supply.
- A self-sustaining economic loop where profitable agents fund their own compute needs and reward their creators/backers.
